Then why did he do it if he didn’t feel his job was at risk at that point?

It's basically my life now.

The idea that he would leave his cushy office job behind to work a back-breaking, manual labor construction job and end up happy in the long run is laughable, and anyone who interpreted the ending as such is a brainlet who missed the point. The change was refreshing and might have provided Peter with some temporary relief, but he would soon grow to hate his new construction job just like he hated his old office job, if not even moreso given the physically demanding nature of the job.

How come there are no movies about how working fast food or retail is shitty? There's Clerks but that's not accurate (oh no I'm my own boss and the worst things customers do is ask dumb questions sometimes hahaha).

Not fast food but Waiting is pretty good.

it's not optional because 20% of the work force is fodder for the yearly cull (managers have to put a buffer up to protect their actual workers) and if you don't do OT you are included in that reshuffle. That's why they never let you achieve the highest level of KPIs. Didn't you watch the film?

I've worked at several tech companies and I've told every manager I've ever had to blow me when they asked me to work weekends.
Not a single one fired me, and one even decided to promote me

what do you do for a living, user?

>manlet

>tfw zoomers unironically believe this

the whole movie was about the dehumanizing culture of office/restaurant work. Construction work is exhausting but there's generally no bullshit about it, probably because no one has the energy to put on a fake attitude and then judge others for not doing the same.

are you retarded? I work at a warehouse and we have mandatory over time a lot of weekends, believe it or not in the real world a lot of jobs have mandatory so go back to eating mom's tendies and stay out of big boy talk.

The original ending hinted at exactly this, as the construction foreman comes over and tells them to work faster in the exact same tone as Lumbergh. Fox cut it because it made the audience sad.

I thought the same until.I watched it. Being bored at work for six to seven hours is horrible, same with being voluntold to work weekends.

For what it's worth there's also union benefits, and you get to leave your work at work.

what is wrong with you people? overtime in my first world country is at least time and a half and puts you on a fast track to promotions and more money.
you were just gonna sit at home getting high and jerk off during that time anyway.

Why do you think this? Because you want/have a cushy office job where you just sit in front of a computer all day, just like you do at home? News flash kid, that's not everybody's idea of a good life. Peter was clearly an outdoors kind of guy who liked hanging out with real people who weren't phony and passive aggressive. He probably did get sick of doing construction after a while, but it's still better than office life.

I'd rather have my free time then wage cuck my way into another position that will make me more miserable.

Can someone address this post?

I'd rather not.

Depends on the trade
Welding is oversaturated, niche things like instrument repair or gunsmith are smart long term as no one's going into them

Why would you want to work in an office cubical? Just stay home and play video games

Salaried workers in the US aren't entitled to overtime (with some rare exceptions). If you get paid 60k/yr, that's how much you make, regardless of how many hours you spend in the office.

Office jobs are supposedly soul crushing.

They promoted me to head of R&D and bumped my salary up by 15k. Literally nothing to brag about, they thought they were doing me a solid. Point is I didn't work weekends.

I play vidya at work tho

Im really sorry you are that miserable of a person that you need a company to give you purpose, sounds like you need some introspection

Society is held together by what happens in between doing things. You have less time to control your family to direct it the way it deserves to go. There are precious few moments left for all that in modernity, we are at slave levels of mental freedom and growth.

I don't know why companies insist on 8 hour workdays. No one actually works for more than 2 of them

Yeah in a cubical and you can ever get up and go to the store or go masturbate

goddamn I actually pity you and your empty life

i wouldn't spit on you if you were on jeopardy

The problem with office jobs that people who never have had them don't understand is that it isn't the amount or difficulty of the shit you're doing that's the problem, its the amount of corporate and interpersonal shit you have to wade through in between doing actual work.

For instance, I'm in the office right now and am dealing with an issue that goes like this
>customer emails sales department about a problem with a report
>sales department emails me about the report
>Issue is obvious and requires a single tweak to the query used to generate it
>I write email back to the sales department telling them I'll address it
>I write email back to the client telling them we're going to fix it
>I write email to software team responsible for reporting system informing them of the issue
>They write back to me telling me they'll look into it
>I have to write back to them telling them its urgent
>They tell me they don't know what's wrong because they're not used to seeing the types of reports I deal with
>I write another email explaining the issue to them and that all they have to do is adjust one line of SQL
>Tech support tells me that's technically a dev job and I'll have to get approval from my manager and then someone on the dev team
>Write up an explanation, email it to both of them
>Boss requests a call to discuss
>Attend call, restate issue for fifth time, managers both approve
>New report generated accurately
>Tell sales rep, who tells client
>Have to then tell tech support to update the automatic job that provides the report to the customer

Literally six hours spent writing emails to change one fucking line of code.

this is your brain on capitalism

I’ll keep this in mind, thank you user.

>Peter was clearly an outdoors kind of guy
Yes, clearly the middle-aged computer programmer is a real "outdoorsman". Fucking idiot. Peter didn't take the job in construction because he was an "outdoors kind of guy". He took it because it was different. That's it. That's the entire appeal. It was different from the job he was currently doing that he thought he hated.
>He probably did get sick of doing construction after a while, but it's still better than office life.
Until he gets injured, or just simply gets old. Manual labor doesn't sound too bad when you are young and in great shape. Peter is a middle aged office worker. How many years (if that) would he honestly have in construction before he starts to feel the pain of going out there and working in the sun all day?

Not everyone has someone to support their neet ass.

"You need some introspection" is the platitude, it's obvious you couldn't actually mention anything

>being a construction worker

t. Works with henkel regularly

I've had jobs ranging from office work to physical labor. From high paying to shit wages. They all suck. Every single one of them. I was okay to even good if I tried. But to try is to lie to yourself every moment of every day. I mean EVERY moment "fake it til you make it" hypnotize yourself into blocking out how tired you are, how much you hate this work, how much you hate all your co workers and bosses and corporate bigwigs. Block out how much of the horrible shit in the world your job is directly/indirectly (but still) contributing towards. That we're all slaves and whether that's by some conspiracy or just nature it doesn't matter....it blows. That unless you're lucky enough to be born into it or lucky enough to be be born with a talent that can be bastardized enough to fit into the mainstream zeitgeist and sold as a product you're probably going to be a slave until you die and that again even your artistic endeavour will only really gain traction and support you if you sell out to one degree or another. There's no escape. And the people that like working, that like these horrible jobs have the most dead, NPC expressions on their face 24/7, the fake smiles and laughs, the bullshit distractions. Even when I succeeded at work I never felt accomplished or like it was worth it all.

Working sucks and if you like your job you're most likely lying to yourself or you're just a natural slave.

I already know why it's boring and empty

im not even memeing when I say suicide is imminent.

When you "apply online" for jobs, call the business and ask to speak to the hiring manager because you have a few questions about the job. 9/10 you'll get an interview.

These fucks have like 500 resumes and are looking for any reason to eliminate 99% of them. If you stand out you'll get noticed.

Take some people with you. Buy a gun and shoot up your local chamber of commerce chapter. They're ultimately responsible for this mess anyways

Easy way to do this is to look up a business in your field that has closed 1-2 years beforehand and put that on your resume

I can always come up with some bullshit for the gaps in resume or just lie, this has worked for decent paying jobs as well. I'm not a neet who depends for mommy or daddy's money nor the gibs me dats. I just know when to take extended breaks from slavery and how to do it.

I've been on both ends. The problem is not just the type of job, but how much time you spend at it. You started getting mentally bored at both job

I worked 40hr/week labor jobs and hated it. Body was sore and you are just bored as hell

I worked a 40hr/week office job too where you do only 3 hours of actual work and browse Reddit the rest of the day. It is not as fun as you think. Maybe if I could browse Yas Forums, it would be cool, but I didn't want to risk going on Yas Forums at work, so I was just browsing Reddit and it was so fucking Boring after an hour. I felt like I was wasting my life away.

Now I work a 28hr/week postal facility job. It's labor, but it's not too many hours so my body is fine and I don't mentally get bored either

peace comes from within not the outside, once you truely understand that life becomes so much easier

it seems like you're trying to live up to a bunch of expectations

hence me being itt
still have nothing to live for, the same threads day in day out to keep me company has pushed me closer to going crazy and im genuinely getting close. I watch movies and browse to escape myself

>Cant make mistakes either or clients get livid. I've gotten some really nasty people yell or just be extemely confrontational.
You're playing with their money, I'd yell at your retarded ass too if you made mistakes.

I've gone from manual labour to soul destroying office work and I want out. I think suicide is the only way. I'm just not cut out for this

those are nice words user, but life's not a poetry book. I'm a disgrace to myself and my father, and a failure to my gf and potential children. I have no place in the world. waking up every day is repeatedly the worst thing to ever happen

Uh hello BASED department?

>Oh no, I have a comfy steady office job with virtually no oversight from the bosses and my very own cubicle instead of an open floor plan nightmare
Hasn't aged well at all, many millenials would kill for this

Hi me.

My job hardly has any metrics by which to judge my work. I can't going around making mistakes, but I can work really fucking slow, sit a desk "researching," and if anyone complains about how fucked up the work area looks you can just tell them you had unexpected volume.

its not poetry though, if you truely think peace is something you find once you reach some sort external goal you're wrong. the goalpost always moves

once you make 70k you want to make 80k, once you have a car you want a bigger one, it never ends.

you unironically need to let go and surrender, not in a killing yourself way, but surrender to those expecations, you're tormenting yourself

That ending man. I love movies that end in such a way that the status quo is unrecognizable from the beginning but that ending is crushing. As a union pipefitter who has literally worked in the Chicago Ford plant the movie hit home in all kinds of ways for me. Not all of it bad but it definitely makes one uncomfortable. Guess the movie made me feel something which is a success.

Amen to that. Though I miss cubicles.
It seems that office work is much more overloaded with duties and also more stressful now.
With computers these days, more people should be working from home.

I don't want or expect "peace" or being sastisfied, all I wish for is a life with some semblance of purpose, where I don't live under my mom and dads roof until they die and every fucking day is empty and worthless and I earn no money whatsoever. I don't care if I make 40k, I just want independence. I can't stand it anymore

The only problem with working from home is that everybody fucks off all day. Office workplaces are literally daycare for adults.
